I am new here. Do I understand this correct - it will be possible to
write programs on the phone for the phone? Or will I need to write and
compile the programs on a pc? 

One thing I liked about my Palm PDA was OnBoardC - I had my first
program running, written on the PDA, a week after I got it. But Palm
also had some very fine documentation, and OnBoardC had a programming
Cookbook, so it was easy to get started. 

I have not been able to find the same level of documentation (yet?) to
OM. I have downloaded the toolchain, and I more or less know how to use
it, thanks to a wiki page (wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Toolchain). 

But..

Do you have a link to a good starting point?  :-)
